Description

The Edit Improved tool allows you to edit graphically certain properties of the selected object, such as the vertices of a Draft Wire, the length and width of a Draft Rectangle, or the radius of a Draft Circle.

Unlike the standard Draft Edit, it allows you to edit multiple multiple nodes of multiple objects at the same time.

Editing a wire

How to use

Select an object.
Press the File:Draft Edit Improved.svg Draft Edit Improved button.
Click on all the points that you wish to move.
Click another point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate and press the add point button.
Press Esc or the Close button to complete the current command.

The tool mostly works on Draft objects: Draft Wires, Draft Lines, Draft Rectangles, Draft Circles, Draft Arcs, Draft Polygons, and Draft BSplines. Other object types must first be converted to these objects.

Options

Scripting

See also: Draft API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

There is no programming interface available for the Edit tool. Each object is modified by changing its attributes directly.
